The Joy of Living

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
This time of year, the sun is glorious, and just sitting in the warmth of its rays can boost your mood. In the above verse, Solomon compares the joy of living a righteous life with the refreshing and comforting feeling of soaking up the sun.
Dear Lord, when my thoughts and actions align with Your Word, I feel the warmth of Your love in my heart.

Keys to the World

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Jesus tells His followers that the people who experience the deep mourning of sin—and the version of themselves that turns their back on God—will receive His comfort and will be reminded that God is in control over even life’s most challenging situations. They will become overcomers!
Heavenly Father, when I am tempted to make choices that turn my heart away from You, right my way and hold me close.

Rest for Your Soul

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
In the above verse, Jesus calls us to take on His yoke, and promises that His work will be easy to bear, for He is humble and gentle at heart. When you commit to Him, you are relieved of carrying your heavy burdens. He will give your spirit rest.
Dear Lord, thank You for showing me that living by faith is easier than carrying the heavy burden of sel-frighteousness.

Choose to Forgive

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
When someone has wronged you, you have a choice. Brood over your anger and hurt feelings, or dig deep into your heart and forgive the offense. Rather than staying fixed in your rage—grow spiritually and begin the healing process. Forgive.
Heavenly Father, help me recognize that holding on to anger limits my future and growth, and keeps me stuck in negative thinking.

The Quiet Life

Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
In Paul ’s letter, he described the importance of striving to lead a quiet life. Are you ready to invest the time to be still and peaceful? As you deepen the roots of your faith, you will discover the beautiful mystery of His presence.
Lord, I don’t want to spend my life frantically pursuing something that leaves me restless and exhausted. Guide me to live a quiet life.

True Friends

When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.—Job 2:11 (NIV)
Job’s three friends took time away from their homes to go and comfort him. When someone you love is going through a difficult time, reach out to them, and show up for them. Let them know that you are there for them and that you care.
Heavenly Father, when I am considering sympathizing from afar, lead me to reach out and be present.

Tune in to God’s Gifts

Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
God sends small miracles to brighten every day. Do you notice them? The next time you experience a little blessing—a parking spot that opens up, a beautiful dragonfly that lands on your window, or a meaningful song that pops up on the radio just as you tune the dial—thank Him for shining His light on your life.
Dear Lord, Your fingerprints are all around me. Give me ears that hear and eyes that see Your many wondrous blessings.

Shake the Dust Off

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.—Matthew 10:14 (NIV)
When Jesus sent the disciples to spread the Gospel, He knew that they would not always be welcome. His advice when this happened was to move on and keep going. Is there something in your life that you are clinging to that may just be a waste of time? Reflect on what is blocking you from moving forward. Shake the dust off your feet.
Lord, help me discern what I should let go of. Guide me forward on my faith journey.

Shine His Light on Dark Thoughts

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Often things that keep us up at night lose their significance and power in the light of day. The lonely hours of the night can break down our defenses and make us feel hopeless. God and strong faith are the cure for dark thoughts. His Word is a beacon of hope.
Heavenly Father, I know You are with me, guiding me to embrace life’s journey, even through the loneliness of dark nights.

The Importance of Being There

I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
In the above verse, John touches on the complete joy of sharing one another’s company face to face. As technology has evolved, communication has shifted, and we often spend time texting or messaging on social media. Today, plan on experiencing the joy of looking into a loved one’s eyes as you share your time.
Dear Lord, help me show the important people in my life how much I love them.

You Will Reap the Songs of Joy

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
When you are in a dark place of loss, you might be tempted to think things will never get better. When negativity enters your mind, turn to God. Ask Him to open your heart to new beginnings. Trust that the future will be bright. He will hold your hand and lead you to loving and enriching experiences.
Dear Lord, when my heart is heavy with grief, fill me with Your peace and reassure me of the bright future You have planned for me.

The Power of Personal Experience

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.—2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NIV)
Someone said, “The courage it takes to share your story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to hope.” Reflect on your life, and ask Jesus to help you find ways to inspire others and give them hope by sharing a personal experience.
Dear Lord, guide me to bless others with my story.
